Lilac Dream

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The Moon is always there.
A half blink of shadow,
a crescent of an eyelash,
opulent in fullness, spellbound
in nothingness, and a friend.
   Carolyn Riker





If you can't explain it
to a six year old, you don't
understand it yourself.
    Einstein


ΤΆ



Green is nice, but oh so plain,
Time to paint the world insane!

Jacaranda standing tall,
The prettiest surprise of all!
 Shower of confetti bright,
Like fairies dipped
In lavender light.

Her sidewalk turned
A wonderland,
Of carpet soft and
Oh so grand!
Among the petals
Light and sweet,
A lilac dream
Beneath our feet.

Inside it's shade
A world transformed,
Magic land
Where dreams are born.
       Cloudia Charters





If you are ever caught in a trap,
just relax as much as you can
and it will become a trapeze!



When I am silent,
I have thunder
hidden inside.

    ...Jacarandas are a delight, I remember when we first saw them in Kula.

    I had never seen a jacaranda tree until we started visiting our son in California. They are beautiful.

    The quote from Einstein is perfect! I did love your poem about the Jacaranda and the photo you posted with it. Those flowers remind me of the wysteria that grows here in the South.
    Blessings, Cloudia!

    I really like the Einstein quote. Somebody told me that a long time ago, I didn't realize it was from Einstein.
